Night's Landing

U.S. Marshalls Rob Dunnemore and Nate Winter are shot by a sniper in Central Park. Rob is seriously injured. When his twin sister, Sarah, arrives in NYC Nate learns they are neighbors and friends of the President who comes from TN and that their parents are diplomats currently on a Commission in Amsterdam. Can the shooting have been intentional, related to their task force or their family connections? Nate intends to stick close to Sarah and dig deeper. Secrets in TN may be coming to the surface and associations from the past have hidden motives.

There are side characters that have reason to be involved but could be potential lead characters in future volumes. We get a glimpse of their backgrounds and personalities here. I liked the way show more we see things from varying perspectives and agendas and how they converge. Better than the first book. Looking forward to more in the series show less

Book 2 in the US Marshal's series. Rod Dunnemore & Nate Winters, two deputies with the US Marshal's are hit by a sniper in Central Park. That begins a series of events in NY, Night's Landing in TN and Amsterdam. Rod's sister, Sarah, is at the family home in Night's Landing when she receives word of the shooting. Finding out the truth is Nate's goal but when he gets to Night's Landing there is a mysterious gardener and a reporter who is not what he appears to be. The President of the US grew up next door to Sarah & Rod and is there a connection to him? This is a good story with lots of suspects to choose from.

Night’s Landing by Carla Neggers is the second book in her U.S. Marshal series. In the opening scene, US Marshals Nate Winter and Rob Dunnemore are shot in Central Park. Nate’s wound is slight, but Rob’s is critical, so his twin sister rushes to his bedside. Rob, afraid that his sister is a target, sends her home. When she receives a threatening letter, Nate comes to her aid in Tennessee. Odd things begin to happen involving her gardener, a reporter, snakes, and the President who was raised on an adjacent property.

This is not one of Carla Neggers’ best books, but the story is diverting and a quick read.

As expected, Carla Neggers leads us through a mystery and includes old and new friends. Love!
